DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
1 and 2 are a perspective view and an exploded perspective view showing an example of a rotating toy according to the present invention. The rotating toy is composed of a rotating toy body 1 and a rotating figure 2 attached to the rotating toy body 1. The rotary toy main body 1 is rotated indirectly by rotating the flywheel 4 arranged inside by pulling the knob 3 arranged on the side wall of the rotary toy main body 1. When the speed is increased, the cover member 5 is opened and the rotating figure 2 disposed inside is rotated upward and is flipped upward.
[0008]
The rotating toy main body 1 is composed of a lower member 10, an upper member 11, and a lid member 12, and is formed to imitate the whole as a whole. A flywheel 4 is rotatably disposed inside the rotating toy main body 1. Yes.
[0009]
The flywheel 4 is a metal disk, and a gear 13 is coaxially formed on the lower surface of the flywheel 4, and the rotating toy body 1 is composed of a shaft hole 14 formed in the lower member 10 and a shaft hole 15 formed in the upper member 11. It is pivotally supported inside.
[0010]
A resin sliding member 17 having a hemispherical tip is attached to the lower end of the rotating shaft 16 of the flywheel 4 that passes through the lower member 10 and protrudes downward, so that friction with the ground contact surface during rotation is achieved. The rotation of the rotating toy main body 1 can be continued with a reduced number of the rotations.
[0011]
The lower member 10 is formed with an insertion hole 21 through which the pull string 20 connected to the knob 3 is inserted, and the leading end of the pull string 20 inserted through the insertion hole 21 is rotatably disposed in the lower member 10. It is attached to the attachment hole 23 of the gear body 22.
[0012]
The drive gear body 22 is rotatably held in the lower member 10 by a cylindrical support body 28 having a collar portion 27 formed on the upper portion and screwed to the center of the lower member 10, and pulling the knob 3. Thus, it can be rotated counterclockwise. An internal gear 30 is continuously formed on the inner peripheral surface of the circular recess 29 formed on the upper surface, and a spring spring 32 is wound around the concave groove 31 provided on the outer wall surface, so that the knob 3 is pulled. During operation, the drive gear body 22 rotates counterclockwise and the mainspring 32 is wound up. When the pulling operation of the knob 3 is released, the drive gear body 22 is rotated clockwise by the rewinding force of the mainspring spring 32. The drawstring 20 is wound up while rotating in the reverse direction. Needless to say, the inner end of the spring 32 is fixed to the drive gear body 22 and the outer end is fixed to the inner wall of the lower member 10 by appropriate means.
[0013]
The small gear 25a of the speed increasing gear 25 meshes with the internal gear 30 of the drive gear body 22, and the small gear 26a of the speed increasing planetary gear 26 meshes with the large gear 25b of the speed increasing gear 25. The large gear 26 b of the planetary gear 26 is selectively engaged with the gear 13 of the flywheel 4.
[0014]
The speed increasing gear 25 and the speed increasing planetary gear 26 are respectively supported by shaft holes 34 and 35 formed on the upper surface of the support 28 and shaft holes 41 and 42 formed on the partition plate 40. The shaft holes 35, 42 that support the speed increasing planetary gear 26 are formed as long holes, and the speed increasing planetary gear 26 moves along the long holes, whereby the large gear 26 b of the speed increasing planetary gear 26 is connected to the flywheel 4. It can be selectively engaged with the gear 13.
[0015]
When the knob 3 is pulled, as shown in the bottom sectional view of FIG. 3A, the driving gear body 22 is pulled by the pull string 20 while winding the spring spring 32, and when viewed from the direction of arrow a (when viewed from the top). The speed increasing gear 25, which rotates counterclockwise) and the small gear 25a meshes with the internal gear 30, is rotated in the direction of arrow b (counterclockwise when viewed from above), and the large speed gear 25 The speed-up planetary gear 26 in which the small gear 26a meshes with the gear 25b moves in the long hole 35 (42) in the inner diameter direction and meshes with the gear 13 of the flywheel 4, and the flywheel 4 is moved in the direction of arrow d (viewed from above). Rotate counterclockwise).
[0016]
On the other hand, when the pulling operation of the knob 3 is released, the drive gear body 22 is rotated in the direction of winding the pull string 20 by the rewinding force of the mainspring spring 32 and is wound until the knob 3 comes into contact with the outer wall surface of the lower member 10. At this time, as shown in FIG. 3B, the speed increasing planetary gear 26 moves through the long hole 35 (42) in the outer diameter direction, and the speed increasing planetary gear 26 and the gear 13 of the flywheel 4 are disengaged. The flywheel 4 can continue to rotate in the direction of the arrow d without being influenced by the drive gear body 22 even when the drive gear body 22 rotates in the reverse direction (a ′ direction), and the knob 3 is repeatedly pulled. Thus, the rotational speed of the flywheel 4 can be increased.
[0017]
The flywheel 4 is covered with an upper member 11. As shown in FIG. 4, the upper member 11 is formed with a shaft hole 15 that supports the rotary shaft 16 of the flywheel 4 and protrudes upward at the center, and the two guide shafts 45 and 46 are located upward. Protrusively formed. Both guide shafts 45 and 46 guide a control rotation plate 47 described later, and the guide shaft 45 also guides the locking member 50. The control rotation plate 47 and the locking member 50 are covered with the lid member 12, and the lid member 12 is fixed to the upper member 11 by screwing screws 51 to the guide shafts 45 and 46.
[0018]
A shaft support portion 52 is formed on the upper surface periphery of the upper member 11 to pivotally support three resin-made cover members 5 that are shaped like petals so that they can be opened and closed. The shaft support portion 52 is configured to support an engagement projecting piece 53 formed on the inner lower end of the cover member 5 so that the support shaft 54 can be opened and closed. The engaging protrusion 53 engages with the engaging portion 61 of the control rotation plate 47 when the cover member 5 is opened, and rotates the control rotation plate 47 counterclockwise.
[0019]
The control rotation plate 47 is inserted in the center with the rotary shaft 16 of the flywheel 4 and has an opening 55 for avoiding contact with a spring, which will be described later, and extends in a circumferential direction to a symmetrical position across the opening 55. The long holes 56 and 57 are formed. The guide shafts 45 and 46 of the upper member 11 are inserted into the long holes 56 and 57 so that the control rotation plate 47 can rotate in the circumferential direction. A cutout portion 60 is formed on the periphery of the control rotation plate 47, and an engagement portion 61 having an engagement slope 61a obliquely upward is formed above the cutout portion 60. The notch 60 corresponds to the engagement protrusion 53 of the cover member 5, and when the cover member 5 rotates in the opening direction, the engagement protrusion 53 rotates upward so that the engagement slope 61 a is engaged with the engagement piece 61 a. 53a is engaged so as to push up from below, and the control rotation plate 47 is rotated counterclockwise. This control rotation plate 47 is urged by a spring 62 so as to always return and rotate clockwise. In FIG. 4, reference numeral 48 denotes a spring that is stretched between a hook 53 b formed on the engaging protrusion 53 and a hook 49 formed on the rotation control plate 47, and the spring 48 is a rotating toy. When the is not rotating, the cover member 5 is urged in the closing direction, and when the cover member 5 is not opened by centrifugal force, it is as if the petals are closed.
[0020]
A cutout 63 is formed on the outer side of the long hole 56 of the control rotation plate 47 obliquely in the counterclockwise direction inward, and three protrusions 64 projecting outward on the peripheral surface. Is formed. The projecting piece 64 corresponds to a notch 74 formed at the lower end of the outer peripheral wall of the lid member 12, which will be described later, and is for enabling the control rotation plate 47 to rotate in the horizontal direction.
[0021]
The locking member 50 has a leg piece 50b formed forward from both ends of the connecting portion 50a and is formed in a substantially U shape in plan view. The connecting portion 50a has a long hole 65 in the longitudinal direction, and the connecting portion 50a A locking portion 50c having a front-facing inclined surface is formed on the front surface. The locking portion 50c is engaged with a groove 71 of the engaging body 70 described later to lock the engaging body 70. Furthermore, an engaging shaft 66 is formed on the bottom surface of the connecting portion 50a so as to protrude downward. The engagement shaft 66 engages with a notch 63 formed in the control rotation plate 47, and when the control rotation plate 47 rotates counterclockwise, the engagement shaft 66 is moved in the outer circumferential direction by the inclined surface 63a of the notch 63. The locking member 50 can be slid outward.
[0022]
The cover member 12 is formed with a guide cylinder 67 having a guide cylinder 67a that bulges in a cylindrical shape at the center and a guide cylinder 67b that bulges in a cylindrical shape at the center, and guides the vertical movement of the engagement body 70 described later. It is like that. At the upper end of the guide cylinder 67a, an insertion hole 68 for inserting the rotating shaft 75 of the rotating figurine 2 is formed. A flip means 69 is disposed inside the guide tube 67. The flip means 69 includes a flat cylindrical engagement body 70 having a concave groove 71 provided in the center of the peripheral surface and a through hole 72 through which the rotary shaft 16 of the flywheel 4 is inserted. When the engagement body 70 is pushed down while compressing the spring 73 and the concave groove 71 is pushed down to a position corresponding to the engagement portion 50c of the engagement member 50, the engagement portion 50c is formed. Thus, when the locking member 50 is locked and the locking by the locking portion 50c is released, the engaging body 70 can be pushed up instantaneously by the elastic force of the spring 73.
[0023]
The lower end of the guide tube 67 is extended until it abuts on the upper surface of the upper member 11, and the outer diameter thereof is formed substantially equal to the distance between the two leg pieces 50 b, 50 b of the locking member 50. The locking member 50 is guided by the guide shaft 45 so that it can slide in the radial direction. Further, a notch 74 is formed at the lower end of the outer peripheral wall corresponding to the protruding piece 64 of the rotation control plate 47. The notch 74 is for the projecting piece 64 to be guided by the notch 74 to rotate the control rotation plate 47 in the horizontal direction.
[0024]
The rotary figurine 2 is formed to resemble a ballerina, and a rotary shaft 75 is formed on the bottom so as to protrude downward and a cylindrical shape having an open lower end. The tip of the rotary shaft 16 of the flywheel 4 is the rotary shaft. 75 can be inserted. The rotary shaft 75 is formed with two slits 76 in the longitudinal direction so that the rotary shaft 16 of the flywheel 4 can be clamped with an appropriate pressure and can rotate with the flywheel 4 at a constant speed without slipping.
[0025]
Since the rotating figurine 2 can be attached to and detached from the rotating shaft 16, the user provides various rotating figurines 2 separately from the rotating toy main body 1, so that the user can add the favorite rotating figurine 2 to the favorite rotating toy main body. It can be enjoyed by attaching to 1 or selecting from a plurality of rotating figurines 2 for replacement.
[0026]
Next, an operation mode of the rotating toy having the above configuration will be described.
[0027]
First, the rotating figurine 2 is attached to the apparatus main body 1. This can be done by inserting the rotary shaft 75 of the rotary figurine 2 into the tip of the rotary shaft 16 of the flywheel 4. At this time, the lower end of the rotary shaft 75 of the rotary figurine 2 comes into contact with the engagement body 70 and pushes down the engagement body 70 while compressing the spring 73. When the recessed groove 71 of the engagement body 70 is pushed down to a position corresponding to the engagement portion 50c of the engagement member 50, the engagement body 70 is engaged with the engagement member 50 and the engagement state is maintained in a state where the spring 73 is compressed. (See FIGS. 5A and 6A).
[0028]
Next, as shown in FIG. 7, when the operation of pulling the knob 3 and pulling the pull string 20 is performed, the drive gear body 22 is forcibly rotated while winding the spring spring 32. When the drive gear body 22 rotates, the speed increasing gear 25 rotates and the speed increasing planetary gear 26 rotates. The speed-up planetary gear 26 moves through the long hole 35 (42) in the inner diameter direction, meshes with the gear 13 of the flywheel 4, and rotates the flywheel 4. When the pulling of the knob 3 is released, the drive gear body 22 rotates in the reverse direction in the direction of winding the pull cord 20 by the rewinding force of the mainspring spring 32. At this time, the speed increasing gear 25 reversely rotates and moves the speed increasing planetary gear 26 in the outer diameter direction of the long hole 35 (42), so that the speed increasing planetary gear 26 and the gear 13 of the flywheel 4 are disengaged, The flywheel 4 continues to rotate in the same direction without being affected by the rotation of the drive gear body 22. By repeatedly pulling the knob 3, the rotation of the flywheel 4 can be increased and rotated at a high speed.
[0029]
In this state, when the rotating toy main body 1 is grounded, the flywheel 4 is rotated, so the flywheel 4 is set up in a standing state on the ground surface. Start spinning.
[0030]
When the rotation of the rotating toy body 1 starts, the cover member 5 starts to rotate outward due to centrifugal force, and the engagement piece 53a of the engagement protrusion 53 is engaged with the lower surface of the engagement slope 61a of the control rotation plate 47. The control rotation plate 47 is rotated only in the horizontal direction. Therefore, when the engaging slope 61a is pushed up from below, the control rotation plate 47 is counterclockwise. It is rotated in the direction.
[0031]
When the control rotating plate 47 rotates counterclockwise, the engaging member 66 is pushed out of the engaging shaft 66 in the outer diameter direction by the notch 63 of the control rotating plate 47 as shown in FIG. The locking member 50 slides outward. When the locking member 50 slides outward, the locking portion 50c is disengaged from the concave groove 71 of the engaging body 70, so that the engaging body 70 is instantaneously pushed upward by the spring force of the spring 73 (FIG. 5B). )reference).
[0032]
Since the engaging body 70 pushes up the rotating shaft 75 of the rotating figurine 2 inserted into the rotating shaft 16 of the flywheel 4, the rotating figurine 2 disengages from the rotating shaft 16 while rotating, and as shown in FIG. It jumps out of the rotating toy body 1 and rotates independently of the rotating toy body 1.
[0033]
FIG. 9 shows another example of a rotating figurine, and this rotating figurine 2 ′ is provided with a doll 81 on the upper part of the rotating shaft 75 and with a propeller 82 imitating a dragonfly blade on the upper part of the doll 81. It is. The rotary figurine 2 ′ is mounted on the rotary toy main body 1, and as shown in FIG. 10, an operation of pulling the knob 3 and pulling the pull string 20 may be performed.
[0034]
Similarly to the rotating toy described above, when the rotating toy body 1 is grounded while the flywheel is rotated at a high speed, the rotating figurine 2 'rotates at the same speed as the flywheel 4, and the rotating toy body 1 also rotates. Since the cover member 5 is opened and the rotating figurine 2 'is ejected, it can be blown by the buoyancy generated by the rotation of the propeller 82, and the image is as if a flying body such as a dragonfly rescues the princess of the dwarf. A rotating toy that can be held by a girl can be realized, and the user's target can be expanded not only to boys but also to girls, and the sales target can be expanded.
[0035]
【The invention's effect】
According to the first aspect of the present invention, when the rotating toy body is grounded in a state where the flywheel is rotated, the rotating toy body starts rotating, and when the rotation rises , the cover member 5 is slowly so that the petals are opened by centrifugal force. Rotating figurines such as dolls placed inside will pop out and be separated from the toy main body and rotate as a separate rotating body, so that rotation that is expected to be accepted visually and happily by girls is unprecedented Toys can be provided.
[0036]
In addition, since the rotating figurine can be attached to and detached from the main unit, you can choose your favorite rotating figurine and enjoy the combination of the rotating figurine and the toy main unit. It is possible to provide a rotating toy that is expected to expand the purchase layer and the product.
[0037]
According to the second aspect of the present invention, it is possible not only to jump out by providing a propeller on the rotating figure, but also to fly, so that the movement can be changed and a more enjoyable rotating toy can be provided.
